" No one could be better qualified than Dr Nicholson to write a monograph 

 upon Graptolites, since he has himself discovered and named many new 

 species, and has ascertained their presence in various new localities. . . . 

 The work is excellently illustrated, having at least one and often several 

 drawings of each genus, and there is a good historical introduction."- -

A MANUAL 01 ZOOLO&T, 



FOR THE USE OF STUDENTS. 

 WITH A GENERAL INTRODUCTION ON THE PRINCIPLES OF ZOOLOGY. 



Second Edition. Crown 8vo, pp. 674, with 

 243 Engravings on Wood. 12s. 6d. 



"The advent of a new and important text-book of a science is an event 

 which is of the deepest interest, not merely to teachers and students of 

 anatomy, but to the general reading public. For the progress of a science 

 towards exactitude may very well be measured by the value of the manuals 

 published at successive periods. Dr Nicholson's Manual has this advantage, 

 that it is preceded by a general introduction on the principles of zoology. 

 This portion of the work is of the deepest possible interest, inasmuch as it 

 brings up the present state of our knowledge of zoology to the very latest 

 period. We fail to recognise in any previous zoological author the peculiar 

 judicial art, which Dr Nicholson exhibits, of showing all sides of the ques- 

 tion, while apparently in no case obtruding his own individual opinions. 

 This naturally places the present work on a far higher level than that pos- 

 sessed by its predecessors. . . . It is the best manual of zoology yet 

 published, not merely in England but in Europe." From tJie Pall Malt 

 Gazette, July 20, 1871.
